You maybe aware of the technique of visiting other blogs and leaving comments, both because you want to get your voice heard in general and of course because it gives you an opportunity to leave a link to your blog and therefore drive traffic.

The trouble is with millions of blogs created everyday how do you find the blogs that are relevant to your particular niche.  Well you could go the old fashioned route and just spend hours online searching for them hoping to be able to separate websites from blogs.  The alternative is a to use two of googles tools that are designed to make things easier.

The first is Google Blog Search like the regular google search it has an advanced search option and this is what I recommend you use. By using the keywords that are most associated with your blog you can find similar blogs.

Likewise with google alerts, the good thing about google alerts is that once they are setup they do the work for you. Enter you keywords, choose the “Type” Blog, decide when you want the information delivered and you are away.

Both of these will help you uncover blogs that are in the same area as you and that are good candidates for your comments, maybe even for some mutual linking.
